(COVER PHOTO) Emma Hart Emma Hart 5'6" | SG IMG Academy | 2026 State FL is a hidden gem in Florida, playing on the loaded IMG Academy team that just captured a national championship—where she contributed valuable minutes all season. Emma possesses ball-handling skills, composure, high IQ, strength, speed, and quick decision-making, all of which will benefit any program at the next level. Already holding a Division I offer, she has proven she can make an impact.

Watching her play is like poetry in motion—she uses minimal dribbles to get to her spots, controls pace to change direction, and consistently draws defenders to create open looks for her teammates. Emma doesn’t play accidental basketball; she reads defenses with precision and dictates the action to generate the best possible play. With a winner’s mentality, she is poised to be a valuable asset at the next level.

Hart showed she was a “Tip Sheet” waiting to happen last season with Austin Elite , as my first impression was lasting. She plays for IMG, one of the top Prep Schools in the country, and watching her fall into that “never takes a play off” group and her Energizer Bunny mindet is just special because she dives for loose balls, she takes charges, she picks pockets yet she can also score off the dribble as well as drop the jumper. When you add she handles the ball and sees the floor under pressure, I’m just glad Florida elevated where she was ranked

Emma really impressed me in Rock Hill during the April live period. Her ability to play within herself and really shine as a true PG that also prides herself defensively is rare these days. Emma was locking folks up for the length of the court in the arena in South Carolina. Her court vision, unselfishness, and willingness to create for her team is high-level. She’s a high academic kid that will commit to a school that caters to her desire to succeed.

Hart is a true floor general who sets the tone, she keeps her team organized but isn’t shy about pulling up to knock down a three when it’s needed. Her hustle is unmatched—diving into chaos for loose balls and coming out with it, even against multiple defenders.
